On June 8, 1968, Paul Fusco, then a photographer for Look Magazine, was a passenger aboard the train carrying Robert F. Kennedy’s coffin between New York City and Washington. He photographed the people along the route who came out to pay their respects.

It sort of makes me wonder what it took for some of these photographers to make it as successful people in this very competitive field. The average photographer in the US makes no more than $38,000; which is very little in the grand scheme of things. So I've always been curious as to what big break many of these photographers have that ends up bolstering them to fame. For example: Yuri Arcurs is the world's most famous and profiting stock photographer making over $100,000.00 from Shutterstock alone.
